    • Key in ON position.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: DataLogger - SJB
    • Monitor the SJB PID RDEF_SW while pressing the rear defrost switch.
    • Does the PID value agree with the rear defrost switch when pressed? 
    1. YES  : Go to  M5.
    2. NO  : Go to  M4.
  4. M4 CHECK CIRCUIT CH122 (WH/OG) FOR AN OPEN CIRCUIT 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280D
    • Disconnect: HVAC module - EATC C228A or HVAC module - EMTC C2357A
      • Fig 2: Checking Circuit CH122 (WH/OG) For Open Circuit
      GF0028388Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
    • Measure the resistance between SJB C2280D-16, circuit CH122 (WH/OG), harness side and HVAC module - EATC C228A-10 or HVAC module - EMTC C2357A-10, circuit CH122 (WH/OG), harness side.
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new HVAC module - EATC or HVAC module - EMTC. REFER to CLIMATE CONTROL article. TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. M5 CHECK THE SJB OUTPUT 
    • Disconnect: Rear Window Defrost Grid Power C402A
      • Fig 3: Checking Circuit For Voltage

    • Turn the rear defroster ON. Measure the voltage between rear window defrost grid power C402A-1, circuit CLS38 (VT/WH), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  M6.
    2. NO  : Go to  M7.
  6. M6 CHECK THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Rear Window Defrost Grid Ground C402B
      • Fig 4: Checking Rear Window Defrost Ground
      GF0041218Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
    • Measure the resistance between rear window defrost grid ground C402B-1, circuit GD147 (BK), harness side and ground.
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : REPAIR the rear window defrost grid or INSTALL a new rear window glass. REFER to Window Grid Wire Repair , Window Glass - Rear . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  7. M7 CHECK FOR POWER TO THE SJB HEATED BACKLIGHT CIRCUIT 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280A
      • Fig 5: Checking For Power To SJB Heated Backlight Circuit
      GF0028389Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
    • Measure the voltage between SJB C2280A-29, circuit SBB06 (BN/RD), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  M8.
    2. NO  : VERIFY battery junction box (BJB) fuse 6 (40A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Fusion, or SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for Milan to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. TEST the system for normal operation.
  8. M8 CHECK CIRCUIT CLS38 (VT/WH) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280E
    • Key in OFF position.
      • Fig 6: Checking Circuit CLS38 (VT/WH) For Open
